Centre

Solas Bhride is a Christian Centre for Celtic Spirituality in the spirit of Brigid of Kildare.

Welcoming and leading those who come to Kildare on Pilgrimage continues to be the core ministry work of the Solas Bhride community. Pilgrims come from all parts of the world – individuals and groups from parishes, schools, universities, women’s groups, prisoners, ecumenical groups…

Prayer

Prayer and the fostering of a contemplative spirit are central to the life of the community. It is what gives energy and enthusiasm for mission. We seek to ritualise day to day happenings; it enriches our lives and the lives of those who come to our Centre.

Liturgical Season

We celebrate the liturgical seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter..

Meditation

We have Meditation on Monday nights. This is open to all.
